The Coreolis effect requires large distances between the different "sides". In the tub there isn't enough distance between the sides...

Did you win the aurgument because you were right or did you wear him down ? :-) many years ago I read in Nature that a serious attempt to explain this in terms of global hemispheres by experiment failed to come up with a definate conclusion because it was found that the _slightest_ movement in the water caused the water to go both ways randomly. If there is any sort of effect then why doesn't it change direction after being started the "wrong" way. --- * UniQWK v3.3a* The Solution for Multilingual Messages = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Sat, 29 Apr 1995 14:04:07 -1000 From: FEUT22A@prodigy.com (Mike Kelley) Message-Id: <3nuk5n$1cia@usenetp1.news.prodigy.com> Organization: Prodigy Services Company 1-800-PRODIGY Subject: Re: Does water flow cloc The Coreolis (sp?) effect is hard to prove and easy to defeat because it is very weak and easily interupted. All this was given to my by a physicist so I don't have to accept responsibility for inaccuracy! :) P.S. I won the arguement because I have a louder voice!!! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
